One thing I really like about the ReadyNAS, from what I read, was that you could PULL a drive and it is otherwise ready to run for consumer uses... If anyone has a straightforward cookbook to make a homebrew system be truly hot-swappable let me know. I'm sure docs are out there, but it is not something you get handed to you in FLOSSlund from what I've seen :)
